MUMBAI: Excel Home Videos and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment have released X-Men Origins: Wolverine, starring Hugh Jackman, on Blu-ray disc and DVD.

Directed by Gavin Hood (Rendition) and starring Hugh Jackman, the film is the fourth instalment of the X-Men film franchise and serves as a prequel to the previous instalments, being primarily set roughly ten to seventeen years before the film X-Men.

This first chapter in the X-Men saga sinks its razor-sharp adamantium claws into the mysterious origins of Logan-Wolverine (Hugh Jackman): his epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed-Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber) and the ominous weapon X programme that unleashes his primal fury.

The X-Men Origins: Wolverine is presented in widescreen on a 50GB dual-layer disc authored in BD-J with AVC (MPEG 4) compression with English 5.1 DTS HD master audio and has as an added feature: Wolverine Unleashed - deleted and alternate scenes.

The DVD and Blu-ray disc is available at all leading stores for Rs 499 and Rs 1,199 respectively.
